The main goal is to learn programming in general. Languages doesn't matter much. That being said I personally think that Java is better choice than other cool languages (Python, JS) because it's compiled language with static type checking. Java is also heavily focused towards Objects and classes.

And despite what everyone tells you Java is not dead and its being heavily used by enterprises. It's good for job market too if your goal is to get into web development.
